Token Actions "speaking as" help

Hey guys, I've been using Roll20 for nearly two years now and for the most part its been a great experience. I'm having an issue with Token Actions however. See, we're playing a D&D 3.5 game, and I have the leadership feat, which means that I have two characters to play as. I recently discovered token actions, and its really simplifying my Macro Bar alot. (Skills are on the bar, while abilities are now token actions). My problem is that because I have to characters, I need to go to the little drop down speak "as;" menu.. every time Im going to speak as a different character. I've dealt with it in the past.. but since finding token actions, I was wondering if it were possible to have the token Ive selected as my "speak as" target... or if there's some way to use the "/em" command to do so? Looking at the Roll20 macro/token actions help pages told me I should be able to do "/em @{selected|token_name}" to do so.. but doing that just makes it do "Thoric Thoric casts a spell" .. am I doing this wrong? Or is this a bug in the script?

Yes been looking for a way to do this as well

/as @{selected|token_name} ?{speech} set as a token macro or whatever will "say" whatever you input in the modal as the selected token. Hope this helps. (Edit, had an extra ":" that was un-needed in there.)

Is that something that DM's specifically get access to? cause for me it just throws an error... heres the macro, just for full info -------------------------- /em plays an upbeat melody on her ocarina, giving her allies the courage to face their foes without fear. +6 to saves vs. Charm/Fear +6 to attack/damage -------------------------- I tried the /as, as you suggested and it didnt work, when I took the slash away(Hoping there was come combo between /em as, but it didnt work.. is this a limitation to players, or just something that cant be done?

I checked the DM only commands.. and it appears "/emas" is a command to allow them to speak in different characters.. I'm going to post in the suggestions.. suggesting that the command function for players, with the limitations, of who they CAN speak as. (ie. who's in the dropdown list)

/emas is different from /as the first is to emote as the selected or chosen token the second is to talk as them. There is also /desc @{selected|token_name} that allows you to emote as the selected token. It may be GM only, I will check to see if I can get it to work as a player. ( edit ): those commands don't work as a player but this seems to work just fine : /ooc -------------------------- /ooc @{selected|token_name} plays an upbeat melody on her ocarina, giving her allies the courage to face their foes without fear. /ooc +6 to saves vs. Charm/Fear /ooc +6 to attack/damage /ooc -------------------------- if you're just wanting a macro though, and not to acutally speak as them in a text/chat kinda way then you can just use the @{selected|token_name} at the start of your macro, it will be posted to chat as what ever you have in the speakas box but it will be labeled with the active token. The /ooc posts it to chat as the person logged into the game not any of their characters.. so say John D. instead of Fancy the Bard. but it is a workable solution w/o API etc. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the help, until my gm has time to work with the on my behalf I'm just going to swap alot. I mean I've been doing it for some time, so its not that big of a deal.. I do think that roll20 should allow /emas for players, it would solve this problem easily. But I do appreciate the help.
